Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Porter's Son, part 2, sentence 76

But the fair, pale girl, the friend of his childhood, the daughter of the General, stood there with a rosy blush on her usually pale cheeks, and her eyes opened wide, and her mouth seemed to speak without uttering a word, and the greeting he received from her was the most beautiful greeting a young man can desire from a young lady, if they are not related, or have not danced many times together, and she and the architect had never danced together.

Who acts: fair pale girl, eyes, mouth, greeting · What happens: stand, open, seem, speak, utter, receive · To what, where: pale cheeks, word, greeting, young man, lady · Speech: someone speaks here
